Become an expert in the creation of textures in three-dimensional modeling"

This Postgraduate diploma in Texture Creation for Hard Surfaces will introduce the student to this complex field of three-dimensional modeling. Creating textures for Hard Surface is essential to achieve realistic finishes in the models to be designed. This progarm focuses, first of all, on the study of geometry and shape, which will allow the development of the student's own criteria for the realization of mechanical components.

Secondly, the content delves into the Hard Surface texturing technique itself, to understand in depth how to control the topology, to develop the communication of functions and to have valid information about the areas that make up the modeling. In addition, mapping and texturing of 3D meshes are covered in depth.

Finally, this educational plan delves into the creation of textures. The students will apply all the texturing techniques for Hard Surface models, will work on real cases in the application of textured details and will identify variations in PBR materials. They will also learn how to export materials and maps for different platforms. 

This Postgraduate diploma, taught entirely online, has a direct qualification, so students do not have to submit a final paper to obtain their university diploma. The re-learning and learning by doing teaching methodology is applied, which promotes the autonomous and progressive learning of the students. In addition, you will have all the multimedia material available on the virtual platform.
